Dave Beasant reminds me never to take anything for granted with Newcastle United nufc
Not out of pessimism but out of not wanting to tempt fate.
The day before our win at Sunderland, Chelsea had led Premier League leaders Norwich 2-0 before the Canaries turned it around to win 2-3, including two howlers from keeper Dave Beasant. This compounded a clanger in the last minute the previous week that gifted Liverpool a winner. The previous season had seen our lowest ever finish. We’d lost three times to Tranmere and been trounced at Southend but against the other promoted club Grimsby, we’d fared better. In fact the home win was the joint most comfortable I’d been at a game that entire calendar year and beyond and was most welcome.
However, as the game wore on, on a bright dry afternoon, expectations recalibrated down, like the Gallowgate clock agonisingly ticking away. Just winning and keeping this incredible run going would do now. We’d shown what we could do performance-wise previously, so the below par performance was no concern now, despite being by a distance our least good performance of the season. Dave Beasant had been competent without producing heroics. Though Clark had beat him and hit the post.
Losses, even failures to win, when you have got used to winning they hurt so much more. We hadn’t experienced defeat since April and that was in bizarre circumstances at Derby, down to eight men.
